With this translation, one of the classics of German historical literature becomes available in English. In Weltburgertum
und Nationalstaat the eminent historian Friedrich Meinecke attempted to trace the transition in Germany from eighteenth-century
cosmopolitanism to nineteenth-century nationalism, and to clarify the genetic history of the German nation through an analysis
of the relationship between Prussia and Germany. The insights and arguments that Meinecke developed in this work have influenced
two generations of historians, as has his superb methodology, which integrated the two areas of ideas and politics with rare
effectiveness.Originally published in 1970.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again
